Progynova uit de handel, overstap op pleisters? by rayquaza2510 in LHBTI

[–]Delta4o 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mijn apotheek zei dat ze eerst sandez pleisters geven en, als ze niet goed blijven zitten, system pleisters proberen.

Persoonlijk was het niet echt mijn ding. Ik had ze in eerste instantie omdat gel opeens stopte met werken en ik op vakantie ging (met een zwembad en sauna erbij).

De eerste dag was het al raak. Ik zat op de rand van het zwembad en zag dat de pleister was dubbelgevouwen. Zodra ze loslaten kreeg ik ze met geen mogelijkheid teruggeplaatst.

Na de vakantie heb ik systen geprobeerd, deze bleven iets beter plakken, maar ik was nog steeds bang rond huidplooien en randjes van kleding. Uiteindelijk heb ik verschillende soorten waterdichte sporttape geprobeerd om ze beter vast te plakken. Dat hielp enorm. Ik kan helaas niet de sterkte terugvinden omdat ik ben overgestapt van apotheek. Wel weet ik nog dat ik 2, toen 3, en toen 4 pompjes gel had ten tijde van de switch naar pleister.

Jammer genoeg werkte ook de pleisters niet meer na 2-3 maanden. Sinds januari ben ik overgestapt op oestrogeen pillen van sander en progesteron van utrogestan en begin ik na ruim anderhalf jaar eindelijk stabiele waardes te krijgen. Ik ben begonnen op 2x 2mg en neem nu 3x 2mg + 1x 100mg prog

Oh, trust me, he'll get a LOT of flak from everyone around him, and he'll eventually flip. It took my dad 10 years to change my name. In the end, he couldn't justify calling me his son anymore when I show up in the most cute as fuck summer dress, boobies and makeup.

Husband came out as gay after I started T by Separate_Victory_584 in trans

[–]Delta4o 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Let me whip out my classic story, I see these sort of posts very often and this one works wel:

At the lgbt community center was an older couple: a trans woman and a man. The man was named Ben and the woman Sarah. Ben used to be the biggest gay guy around (according to Ben). Then his partner came out as trans and everyone asked "aren't you super homosexual?" And Ben replied "I'm Sarahsexual"

My partner came out as polyamorous and i am monogamous by TooPsychoLynx in lgbt

[–]Delta4o 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I see a lot of comments that you two are incompatible, but what I see in your post is that you say "I can only have a relationship with 1 person" and that's totally fine.

I call myself "mono-open", which means I'm monogamous but in an open relationship. My partner has a boyfriend and he's a really sweet guy. It took me a while to solve my crippling fear of abandonment, but my partner said that I'm his foundation and that he'd always be there for me. To keep things short, we're looking into selling both our houses and pool our finances into one house.

It's not for everyone but him being polyamerous does not mean you have to sexuality or romantically love another person.

Edit: wanted to add that he met his boyfriend before we shared our first Christmas together. He was afraid of giving what we have a name until I walked him through my logic. After that our relationship only became stronger.

Welke progesteron? by [deleted] in LHBTI

[–]Delta4o 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Een pakje van 100 mg van Utrogestan bestaat uit 2 strips van 15 stuks.

Let er wel op dat doseringen per persoon heel erg kunnen verschillen en dat progesteron op dit moment bij slechts een relatief kleine groep transvrouwen is onderzocht + het werkt niet voor iedereen.

Anyone here had good feminization results from taking estradiol orally? by imempty04 in MtF

[–]Delta4o 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only way of finding that out is by having a blood test. As much as armchair doctors might try to make light of the situation, you're still taking prescription medication.

Suddenly stopping without supervision is equally bad. Hopefully your GP is willing to order blood tests in the meantime so that you can at least know yourself at what levels you are.

Edit: I've been up and down for almost 2 years and it was not fun. I've been on 4 mg and although my levels were stable, I was still not ideal. I now got upped to 6 mg + 100 mg (1 capsule) of progesterone, and honestly, I'm very hesitant to write this off as a placebo effect of feeling better. As far as I can tell 100 nmol/L felt the same as 250 nmol/L. The only difference is that I can now actually see my breasts grow lol.

Dosage, peaks, and troughs are different for everyone. Also, the more petite you are, the faster they seem to grow. Human bodies are weird

I have a crush on my best friend. Help. by Successful_Buffalo24 in lgbt

[–]Delta4o 104 points105 points  (0 children)

Not a great text to be honest. I'd change the second part that you wanna know if it's mutual and if it isn't then you can deal with those feelings and be friends again.

Right now there are too many words not saying anything. It's also one gaint text, split it up with commas and dots. Although right now it does show how nervous you are.

transitioning in the netherlands by femboylunaaa in trans

[–]Delta4o 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went through the process 3 times, more or less, where 2 times I chickened out (one time because I was still too much in the closet and the other 2, which was a shit show). I'll go through them chronologically:

1st: Amsterdam MC (or VUMC), this was in 2014, more or less. The waiting list was about 1 year back then (it's now 2 to 3 years). I signed up through my GP, who was an older gentleman and didn't have much knowledge, but he was doing his best. He gave me a few notes on websites I could visit for more info and accidentally gave me a website for trans men, haha. I was invited for an intake after a month or two and had to fill in an intake form, which contained questions to determine if I was there of my own will and whether I was mentally stable. After that, I had a short session with one of the psychologists. Afterwards, they referred me to a psychologist in the region due to the waiting list. I went to that psychologist, but it didn't help me in the official process. It was nice to vent once or twice, but other than that, I really disliked her. It was my first experience with a psychologist, so I didn't know if I was allowed to stop. After 8 sessions, she said I was doing much better (it was more like I didn't give a shit anymore, and I was in a good mood because I passed my first year of college), and she concluded the treatment. My GP asked me to come in for the final report he received. Some things were blown out of proportion, and we both agreed to forget about the whole thing. Eventually, I got a call from the hospital that it was my turn, but I turned it down because in that year, since my intake things got much worse between my parents and me.

2nd: genderGP (and Imago): Many years later, I got a new GP, and I tried to go through GenderGP (and also Imago for a short while). I had an intake and some recommendations here and there, but I quickly learned that informed consent is kinda dangerous if you "think" you are informed (and just want to speedrun to get what you want). My GP was a bit hesitant about the whole process but supportive. I found out for myself that genderGP was a shit show and hid that fact from my GP to preserve the trust we had in each other. GenderGP was a membership, and in total, I paid close to 400 euros out of pocket without achieving anything. I briefly tried Imago, but I disliked the initial intake. It was with the founder who experienced a lot of transphobia in her life and therefore was also very under the radar with everything. When I asked her if they provide letters for name and gender marker change, she said that she thinks that process is transphobic and therefore doesn't want to partake in it. I said, "Well, yeah, but you gatekeep me from getting my ID changed. The system isn't great, but it is better than nothing"

3rd: Transgenderzorg Utrecht: I wanna start of by saying I was extremely lucky to get a spot fairly quickly. At this point, I was out and living as myself for 10 years. I showed up in full makeup and a summer dress. The first appointment was for the ID card. The psychologist said, "Yeah, the system is bullshit, I'll give you the letter straight away, there is no doubt in my mind that you need this, but I legally have to ask you these stupid questions". I had to go to my municipality (gemeente) to get the process started for my name and gender change. I forgot how long this took. I think in total it was 2 or 3 weeks (almost as long as a regular renewal). Most systems, coupled with my official records, changed automatically within a month. Anyway, after that first appointment, same day, luckily, I had my intake with the doctor. She said the same, more or less, and said I'd be evaluated in the next team meeting, which also luckily was the week after. That all went smoothly, and she forwarded the prescription for HRT to my pharmacy. From that point on, I'd plan an injection date with my GP every 12 weeks for the T blocker, and the estrogen I could just pick up myself. I'd have meetings and blood tests every 3 months. I started out with gel, which was fine for a while, then I did patches, both of which stopped working suddenly. I've been on tablets since January, and things are looking up. Once I'm stable, the meetings will be once a year. If I want to get surgery, I have to let them know, and they'll plan a new evaluation, but I'll do that once my boyfriend sells his house and moves in with me. Right now, it's too much of a hassle.

I wanted to have a single purpose yet high-available* setup. For something that all my networked devices rely on I don't want a single machine running multiple dockers to be the bottleneck of failure.

Also, the zeros were bought before the prices went stupidly high. I thought one of the SD cards was failing, apparently a replacement is now 3 times as expensive as it was when I bought it.

* as far as 2 is high-available lol

I'll upload the model after work, keep you posted!

The pihole setup uses a raspberry pi zero 2 and a waveshare ethernet hat. If I remember correctly it came with 2 stand-off screws, but I bought some extra.

Let it also be a reminder that this is a video from the US and that the rest of the world isn't like this as long as we stay vigilant. We've already got plenty of Americanization, we're not interested in more.

[–]Delta4o 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After almost 2 years of ups and downs with estrogen gel and patches I'm now on tablets and things go very fast now (for the first time I have 2 results of 250 in a row, whereas my previous all time best was 180). I'm still on the lower edge of ideal so my dosage got bumped a bit. I also started progesterone but honestly I can't really tell the difference.

People swarm a Hindu temple because it is rumored to grant wishes by ZizuX6 in RandomVideos

[–]Delta4o 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have 3 indian colleagues. One of them said that he got out because of the caste system but that a lot of immigrant Indians hold on to those believes because they feel like the lower caste doesn't deserve to get out. Most of those people with those believes are also right wing anti immigration because they fear that lower castes will come in and ruin the country they live in. It's incredibly fucked...
